I don't think you are alone athough you may have had more issues than most. It was not a good year for Dodge twucks. Particularily with the steeing
and ft suspension. I am confident these probs have been resolved . Maybe except for this:
"When coming to a stop there sometimes was a click or pop sound from the drive train"
That's what my failed u-joint started doing also.

Jack the Dodge was my company truck we used primarily to go to the transmitter site. The GM wanted a new vehicle so we traded the dodge in for a lease
on a 06 Honda Ridgeline. He wanted to carry his young sons motorcycle. He gave me his 2004 Chevy Tahoe, it's also a lease. I like the Tahoe because
it's easy to park and is much quicker than the Dodge was. There are a couple of things I don't really care for like the electric seat just doesn't fit
right. The position of the steering wheel and brake pedal and seat are odd and I'm a short guy. My 2004 GMC Z71 has a much better fit and it has a
manual seat. I thought the GM trucks and big SUVs had the same front ends like seat, steering and brake pedal position but I don't think they do. Also
the radio volume knob gets hit almost everytime I pull the shift lever down. The other thing I don't care for is the exhaust is loud. If your in the
back seat it's hard to carry on a conversation with people in the front east. The lease is up on the Tahoe in November and I'm thinking of getting a
Toyota Tacoma like David. I'll be ready to retire when the lease on it is up and I'll buy it from the company. I only put about 6,000 miles or less a
year on the company vehicle and I'm the primary driver.
Shark the sound was alway the same from the time we bought the truck until we traded it in. It was a low milage truck, about 25,000 over 4 1/2 years
we had it. The sound wasn't annoying but you did feel it and hear it, like something shifted or a valve turned on or off.

1992 F-250 Diesel. - 270,000 miles needed brakes at 150,000 a clutch at 200,000. sold.
2002 f-250. 93,000... nothing but routine maintenance.
Lance camper on the 92... trailer for the 2002... Neither stayed on the hiway.
I like Toyotas but they can't do the things a real truck can.
